The last of the winter sun

I managed to sneak away to Spain for four nights last week with the Club Captain and 10 Tyrrells members. We stayed in the beautiful city of Girona and played at the PGA Catalunya Resort.

The weather was perfect for golf, we all enjoyed some friendly competition and far too much wine.

As for the result, let’s just say the Captains team (in blue) finished as runners up. Thank you gents for a great trip, it was lots of fun.

Blast from the past: Drivers

Who remembers the days of hickory shafted clubs and plus fours? Some people say that golf was harder back then with a lot less help from our equipment, so we thought we'd take you on a trip down memory lane to see how far technology has come. Enjoy the ride.

PING G410 Plus driver

We're certain that the first image above has brought back some fond memories for a lot of you - some of you may still have one in the bag!

Once upon a time, small clubhead sizes were the norm, which offered very little in the way of forgiveness off the tee with adjustability just another way of saying you needed to change up your swing.

Thankfully, technology continues to develop and today's drivers are unrecognisable from what's been and come before.

Take PING's G410 Plus driver as an example. It boasts a moveable weight on the perimeter of the head that allows us to promote a fade, draw or neutral ball flight. It all means one thing - a custom fitting is crucial.
